Anytime I ever creep to that 51% line my teammates all of a sudden all encompass less than 40% wr 3-4 divisions below me. Why is a Bronze 1 85 LP 51% wr 60% wr on otp in the same game as a 33% wr iron 3 or whatnot? And why is it occurring multiple times?

I know you guys over in your elo heaven don't think there's a huge difference between iron and bronze, but there is atm. Low silver is former gold, and there is a gigantic disparity atm -- the gold players are curb stomping the actual iron/bronze/whatever, which is fine, except that it's usually a crazy 1sided coin flip, theyre either on my team or the other.

I have no idea your schematic for pairing people, but how you put me with a 8 game loss streak syndra into a 25% wr support rammus who wanted to jg (and took smite in countdown) that I had to dodge (again) is beyond me. I've had to dodge 5-6 games of people who are either intentionally inting in their match history or incredibly and unfortunately paired.

WHAT is going on? How hard is it to match people of even comparable win rates? Is no one playing whatsoever? If so, why am I getting 20LP when I win a game with 4 irons against 3 silver 4's? Like, what? That's not a 20LP win. And why am I losing 18 LP or whatnot when I lose that game? WTF do you want from me?

WHY do I have to beat 3-4 high silver/gold players to get out of bronze, paired often with people nowhere near there? And yeah, it happens to me too, they're also on my team sometimes, and it's absolutely ridiculous how one sided both games are. Guess what? If you pair me with a bunch of good players against a bunch of bad players I win. But also, I'm not good enough to carry a bunch of bad players against a bunch of good players.

I don't understand the thought process to getting out of Bronze means youre capable of 1v5ing people in your same elo. Is there no in between? You're either capable of 1v5 of you're not capable of anything? Like what? And yeah, I have a good WR as my main pick supports, sure. And sure, i am climbing. But 300 games? Or whatever? THREE HUNDRED?

And WHY is there a series qual for promotions when most ppl have 50-60% wr if theyre good. WTF is that? We get LP losses for dodging but no extra LP for winning series and/or beating incredibly horribly matched teams. 3 points is not enough for when I yolo carry my best support game ever?

I'm sorry, this is a rant, but wow. WOW. I've played MOBA's on and off since Clan TDA war3 (their inception) and i've played them on and off in between other genres, and I've gotta say, this is ridiculous. I have no idea what's going on here.

This is the equivalent if you took like 2 rivals, 2 arena masters and 1 glad against 5 duelists and called it legit. Like no, that's not legit. The 5 duelists are going to obliterate the 2 rivals in a heartbeat, and an Arena master getting 5v3'd with a Gladiator does not mean he's 1500 rated. FIX YOUR SYSTEM.

By the way (edit), WHERE are all the people with >45% win rates. WHERE ARE THEY? How can I only have like 1 on my team every game it feels like? Isn't half the community winning half the time? WTF is this. If this is a coin flip for the elo youre supposed to be at, arent you supposed to win 50% of the time, any less or more and youre not supposed to be there, right? SO WHY ARE YOU MATCHING THEM WITH ME IF THEYRE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE WITH ME?

Now, I get 45%, I get 55%, I do not understand how the hell anyone from an entire metal below me with a sub 50% wr is in my game. These individuals do not do well in our games. I, most times, would rather have a bot. What is going on? If there's not enough people in Iron, make Iron bigger, idk what to tell you. I don't want the challenger of horrible players in my Bronze games how does that even make sense? What is the purpose of the Iron bracket at all if you only place them with the people above Iron?

I decided to look at your past 30 games. Here are the results.

Five games had one iron on each side. One game had one iron on your team and two irons on the other team. Seven games had an iron on one team. Of those, the iron was on your team four times and on the enemy team three times. Of the games with the iron on your team, you won twice and lost twice. Of the games with the iron on the enemy team, you won once and lost twice.

We can discuss why there were irons on either team at any point or matchmaking in general, but you're clearly not being held back by the matchmaking.

Want to know the secret of how to get higher than a 50% winrate in ranked?

Throw your provisionals to start the season.
